The name that seems to be getting a lot of chatter is Al Pogue. Was a HS football coach here in Alabama and was an off the field analyst here a few years ago, then left to be the DB coach at Troy under Neal Brown. Brown took him to West Virginia and he's coaching LBs there right now. Pogue would be a good hire, but I don't know who else might be in play or how good of a recruiter Pogue is.

Unrelated to that, are his Mississippi connections still of high value to us since this last class was a loaded one in that state? How are the future classes looking for MS? Does Leach/Kiffen put us in a spot to focus elsewhere? I'm not pretending to be in the know on this stuff so I'm genuinely curious

Fortunately, we still have McGriff who has solid Mississippi ties from when he was their DC.

I'd at least waste a phone call on Corey Raymond. He's the best DB coach in college football. I don't see anyone getting him out of Red Stick unless it's to make him a defensive coordinator, but you call him anyway.

Of the candidates I've heard, I probably like Al Pogue. But I'm admittedly not an expert on who the best available are.
